silverra23 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 That's a nice little gig Stu :) Hi guys, just a few days away now, glad to see there has been some interest! Just a few notes for everyone: Our venue is Yarra Bend Park, Fairfield and you can access the park via Yarra Bend Road, off Heidelberg Rd. Google Maps and TomTom both try to get you there via the Eastern Freeway depending on where you are coming from, but as there is no exit ramp this is no good, so keep an eye out for that. Entrants will need to be in between 8am and 9am, no exceptions. There are no allocated slots so we will be picking the best 120 cars to go on the grounds as they roll up. Make sure your ride is nice and shiny! There is a big car park attached to the grounds as well, so any one who doesn’t make the cut will still get plenty of exposure to every one rolling up for the event. Entry is by gold coin (or more!) donation to beyondblue, and the show is open to the public between 9am and 1pm. Please note if you are on show, you have made a commitment to be on show right through to 1pm, so if you are planning on leaving early, please park in the car park. There will be a sausage sizzle on the day, or bring your own picnic, and a coffee van will also be on site. We will also have Chroma Canvas taking photos of everyone’s cars with their models, and Shannons Insurance will be on hand to discuss all things insurance. If you have any questions, please contact Adam Laws via email (preferred) [email protected] or 0413 001 666. See you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrot Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) What an amazing day. Huge thanks to all those involved in organising this, huge effort guys. Incredible line up of cars. Highlights for me 1. Hendo's V8 Cressida - sleeper beast 2. The demonstration of engineering excellence exhibited in all the early Honda's 3. Mazda Cosmo! 4. Honda civic coupe - series 9 I think (someone told me who knows these things) 5. Checking out the twin Solex set up on the Publica Ute. Now where to find one of those manifolds. 6. The removable panel in the front passenger seat of the Toyota Century to allow the rear seat personage to put their feet up (I presume). 7. Remembering how agricultural Datsun 1600's are (the three I owned over the years erased from memory) 8. An impressive line of Bellett's 9. Sleeper Mazda 1300 station wagon running a rotary turbo on what appears an otherwise standard car, with crap tyres. What were they thinking. And I haven't even mentioned the KE15's, Crown's, Celica's and the TE27. To think how fortunate we are to see these cars on a regular basis, so much so that they become almost routine. Plus meeting and chatting to some great people who can appreciate other marques. Edited November 20, 2011 by parrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well said Parrot.. I concur on all fronts! Thanks to everyone who made the event what it was today! Awesome, awesome awesome! Who would have thought we would be getting sunburnt today after yesterday's weather. Big thanks to Toyota, Shannons and Chroma Canvas for supporting the event, and even bigger thanks to the club members who spent their time BBQ'ing, selling raffle tickets, directing traffic etc etc. We couldn't have hoped for a better show for a first up effort, so we are stoked. I tried to get around and take a photo of every car. I think I succeeded, but if I missed you many humble apologies. Here are a few of my favourites Cosmo - Awesome! Loved this Mazda SS - great shape and so clean! The orange Datsun 1600 was just amazing. So bright, so clean, and not a twin cam turbo engine in sight! Mmmm carbs Supercharged Mighty Boy! So glad these two came.. they made my day! I am with gmonkey.. this was a sweet first gen Civic This is cool as, makes me want to follow through on my early Hilux ideas.... Ken from Queensland... yes Queensland... drove all the way for our show. How cool is that? I love a good wagon! And this is a GOOD wagon! I love this one too.. just cos its mine! Sooo many Isuzus to choose from, their support was awesome. I love the Wasp! These guys trailered this down from Ballarat. How cool is it?! Great to have some Prince's in attendance too Mmmmm Zed goodness More Honda awesomeness One of the wilder cars on show.. and he won the Chroma Canvas raffle! Honda Life, yes please. And the Suzuki guys thought they would have smallest engines on the day. No such luck! Love Justin's Crown Publica Ute Toyota Century. The fold down passenger seat was cool I could keep going and going but I won't. All the rest are here! https://picasaweb.google.com/adamlaws1974/ClassicJapanCarShow2011?authuser=0&feat=directlink If you want to see more photos of the day gripshiftslide.com - Australian Motorsport Car Culture have got some great shots on their facebook page, and Chroma Canvas - Premium Racing Artwork will also be putting their shots up in the next day or two.
